**The first dress up game tip is to press Random: in [Closetcrest](https://yesthisgame.com/closetcrest/) 40 presses gave 40 different looks in each of our three runs, and a dress came up in 19, 13 and 11 of them.** That is a quick way to find ideas before you fine-tune a look.

## How the game works

Closetcrest is a dress-up game with its own hand-drawn characters. The character stands on the left in front of one of eight scenes. On the right are eleven tabs: Hair, Face, Top, Bottom, Dress, Shoes, Hat, Glasses, Bag, Jewelry and Scene. Each tab has style buttons and, for most, a row of colors. Random, Reset and Save photo sit at the bottom of the panel.

## What we measured

We played in a test browser at 1280 by 800 pixels. In each run we pressed Random 40 times, waiting a moment after each press, and read the settings the game keeps after every press. We made three runs.

*Results of 40 Random presses per run*

| Run | Different looks | Looks with a dress | Scenes seen |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Run 1 | 40 of 40 | 19 | 8 of 8 |
| Run 2 | 40 of 40 | 13 | 8 of 8 |
| Run 3 | 40 of 40 | 11 | 8 of 8 |

Three runs in one test browser. A look counts as different when any setting differs, including ones hidden by a dress. We did not judge how the looks appear on screen.

All 8 hair styles also appeared in every run. Counting each option as separate, the settings add up to 5,733,089,280,000,000,000 combinations, though many of those look alike once a dress hides the top and bottom.

## What the tabs offer

Hair has eight styles in ten colors. Face has six skin tones, three eye styles, six eye colors and six lip colors. There are eight tops, six bottoms and four dresses, five pairs of shoes, and a choice of hats, glasses, bags and jewelry, each with a None option.

## 4 tips that follow from the numbers

- **Press Random for ideas.** It gave a new look every time in our runs.
- **Do not rely on a dress showing up.** It came up in 11 to 19 of 40 looks.
- **Change a scene last.** All eight scenes appeared, and a different one can change how a color looks.
- **Save the one you like.** The Save photo button stores a PNG.
